Clermont High Dinner Theater To Have Shakespearean Taste

CLERMONT — If you're wild about Shakespeare and British tradition, you can experience both at Clermont High School's dinner theater April 20.

Dinner patrons will be treated to a two-act performance of Romeo and Juliet as well as other festivities designed to celebrate the 425th birthday of The Bard.

FOR THE RECORD - ***************** CORRECTION PUBLISHED APRIL 13, 1989 ********************* Clermont High School's Shakespeare dinner theater will begin at 6:15 p.m. April 21. Because of inaccurate information supplied to The Lake Sentinel, the date in a story Wednesday was wrong.****************************************************************************

Ticket-holders will be greeted by a juggler and artisans as they arrive at Jenkins Auditorium. Once guests sign in, they will be announced to the crowd and escorted to a table, said Clermont High English teacher Lucy Harward.

Just before dinner is served, Clermont Mayor Robert Pool will read a proclamation honoring Shakespeare, and the crowd will toast him with white grape juice. The feast of Cornish hens and trimmings is being prepared by home economics students.

Tickets to the event are $10 for students and $15 for adults. They can be purchased from Harward or Mary Ogilvie at NCNB Bank in Clermont, the Clermont Chamber of Commerce or Clermont High.

Harward says those planning to attend should buy their tickets or make a reservation by Friday.
